Emil nie je hra. Emil je vzdelávací, výnimočný a zábavný. Emil je zábavný, nie je však zábavou na jednu či dve chvíle. Orientuje sa na školu a vzniká na základe vedeckých výskumov a mnohoročnej práce s učiteľmi a žiakmi. Vyrastá z medzinárodných skúseností s vyučovaním informatiky a moderných teórií učenia sa, zároveň tiež v plnej miere napĺňa požiadavky súčasného inovovaného Štátneho vzdelávacieho programu. Emil prvýkrát buduje informatiku ako premyslený a systematický poznávací proces pre každého žiaka. Emil mení informatiku z používania počítača na novú formu bádania, riešenia problémov a spolupráce medzi predmetmi. Informatika s Emilom učí žiakov, ako zodpovedne žiť a pracovať v digitálnom prostredí, ako poznávať a meniť svet.
